Piers Morgan tells Arsenal chiefs to drive to Premier League rivals and ‘break the bank’ for striker

Piers Morgan has demanded Arsenal bosses ‘drive to Newcastle’ with ‘a barrel-load of cash’ and ‘break the bank’ for Alexander Isak.
Calls for Arsenal to sign a top-class เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย striker intensified once again as Mikel Arteta’s men were dumped out of the FA Cup by ten-man Manchester United on Sunday.
Hosts Arsenal appeare to have dragge themselves back into the tie as Gabriel Magalhaes cancelle out. Bruno Fernandes’ opener shortly after Diogo Dalot Was given his marching. Orders for a second bookable offence.
But the north London giants were made to pay after spurning a host of inviting chances in front of goal, with. Martin Odegaard denie from the spot and Kai Havertz proving ineffective before defending champions United prevailed on penalties to reach the fourth round.
The Gunners’ defeat was compounde by Gabriel Jesus’ serious-looking knee injury towards the. End of the first half, which a downbeat Arteta admitte was a ‘big worry’ for the club in his post-match press conference.
Arteta has repeatedly playe down Arsenal fans’ expectations in the transfer market this month, with the club unlikely to spend big on any big-name additions despite their predicament in attack.
But speaking on the morning after the third-round contest, TV personality Morgan argued that Arsenal had to make a bid for a forward of Isak’s if they had any hope of saving their season.
‘Morgan, a lifelong Arsenal fan, said: ‘How many times have I on your show in the last three years since [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang got shove out the door?
‘He was a genuinely world-class striker in my opinion and had an amazing scoring record for Arsenal.
‘Alright, Arsenal didn’t want him. Fine. So who are you going to replace him with?
‘The reality is, I’ve very calmly, each time I’ve come on, politely suggested that we need to sign a proper striker. The days for calm are now over… we need a bloody striker!
‘If you want to win big trophies you’ve got to be ruthless and you’ve got to sign the best players.
‘Isak, right now, is the best striker in Europe… Arsenal, break the bloody bank!’
Morgan added: ‘I would literally go right now, with a barrel-load of cash, drive to Newcastle and I would offer Newcastle whatever it takes.
‘I don’t care, £100m, £120m, £140m, £150m, I will find the players from our 87 defenders that Arteta has bought in the last couple of years, I will find the players to make up the cash and do FFP stuff.
‘We should break the bank for Alexander Isak. The way we play, the chances we create…
‘Do you know how many chances we’ve had, how many shots we’ve had this week? This week alone, 49 shots. Do you know how many goals we’ve scored? One. Do you know who scored it? Gabriel, a central defender. If that doesn’t tell you something then I don’t know what does.’
